Weeellllll…my faith is very important to me and the tattoo is a seraphim,its an angelic being mentioned a few times in the bible but usually people refer to Isaiah 6:2 to describe it. It’s a six winged creature, with 2 wings it covers its feet, with 2 wings it covers its face and with 2 it flies. Seraphim also means ‘burning ones’ and when I…[Read more]

Ive had people tell me I can’t be a Christian and have tattoos, I’ve heard people saying any tattoo is “the mark of the beast” …I’ve had strangers pull my shirt down to see my tattoo…and my mom asked if I was mentally ill after I finished my chest piece! And she was serious.

Hahahahaha wow! My old boss did that to the tattoo I have on my wrist, the day after I got it she tried to rub it off. Ouch.

I literally was asked “is that real?” About 2 minutes ago.

Well now I have a lovely rash on my left arm. I don’t think I like contrast dye very much! 😛

it finally stopped itching completely. That was very strange! They did inject dye into me through an IV, maybe that had something to do with it? Oh well..at least its not bothering me anymore! thanks for all the info!

I’ve had part of it for 3 and a half years and the other part for 2 and a half years. I wonder why it itches so bad? it almost feels like a sunburn but its getting better.

Thank you, msmercury! 🙂

I was at work, at the front desk checking clients in and out and she came in to get her grandaughter’s hair cut and I was in middle of asking her ‘how can I help you’ when she did that. I was SPEECHLESS!! after she left I was thinking I should have called the cops! Who does that??? I would never touch a stranger in that manner and people seem to…[Read more]

I have every song they ever made. I was only 4 when Freddie died but I grew up listening to Queen! Thanks mom and dad!! lol.

Freddie Mercury was the lead singer of Queen. Please tell me you have heard of Queen!! lol.

Honey, I get ugly comments on a weekly basis and yes it hurts but you have to remind yourself why you have the tattoo and what it means it means to YOU. Many people are judgemental about tattoos and some just don’t understand.

You’re always going to have…[Read more]

its pretty un-awesome. Its been on fire a lot lately too which adds to the un-awesomeness.

yeah, usually. But I live in a small, west Texas town that is extremely conservative. Same town George W. Bush is from ,actually. Some salons don’t even allow visible ink. I get hated on pretty much every day for having tattoos, no exaggeration. I actually had an older woman grab the collar of my shirt and yanked it down past my shoulder,…[Read more]

haha. yeah that would be almost impossible to hide unless you wore a full body suit, gloves included!! You have to wear all black at this job and I have ONE black shirt that covers my chest piece. Guess I’m wearing that everyday until I find more! 😛

I should have no trouble with white then!! I’m as pale as a ghost. I can’t tan even if I try but I avoid the sun like the plague and if I do go out I wear SPF 50 so my tattoos don’t fade.
Anyway…thanks for all the help with my white ink ponderings.

Thank you. I didn’t want it mostly white, just white in it..I guess as an accent..lol. So if you use white as an accent its ok? I really don’t want it to turn ugly down the road.

SOOO guess what. After over a month of attending physical therapy I went to a follow up appointment and found out I was getting worse. I felt like I was, and I asked the therapist frequently when I was supposed to be getting better, and he would always tell me something like ‘soon enough’. My last visit I was almost in tears after doing an…[Read more]

*sigh* thats the thing..I usually don’t get mad about comments about my tattoos that are mean or negative because I know the stigma. I also live in a small West Texas Oil Field REDNECK town so I stick out like a sore thumb but there are people here with tattoos, just not many and its not very accepted on women. I am just so offended that someone…[Read more]

I have to use my tax return on bills and my car. 🙁 I want the whole thing at once!!! haha but thats not likely. I’ll have to do little by little!

Yep! As long as its not your neck, face, hands, you can pretty much cover it up. My job right now doesn’t care, I work in a Salon but I’m going to see about becoming a pharmacy technician soon and I’ll have to cover up then. 😛 But It won’t stop me from getting a half sleeve! I’ll just wear shirts to cover it.
